January 8, 2008
Hi, it's been a while since my last post. Finally I made sometime to do a quick post about contests last year. My blog is new but I did participate in 2 or 3 contests, surprisingly I won 2 of them:
- Yeepage's comment contest, and
- PlainBeta's free theme contest.
Well, I don't like the idea of combining few different things into a post, so this one is about the Yeepage's Comment Contest.I was only participating in commenting on Yeepage's blog naturally. I admit that I only skimmed over Simon's My dreaded 1st Contest… and had some quick thought about some strategy to win the game.

Bloggers on Christmas 2007
December 26, 2007
Hi everyone. I'm not a Christian and I don't celebrate Christmas by its full meaning. Earlier I share with everyone a collection of Christmas Tips from Open Tips and I hope people enjoy reading them. Now Christmas is over at my time zone but I know it's still 25th Dec in the USA so I decide to write this post to show how bloggers celebrate Christmas for the year 2007, and the past years.
How does this work?
I'm going to update this page to link to the post of bloggers who write about Christmas. Check out the links below to see a sample of how I do it.

How to Leave Comments the Smart Way
November 28, 2007
When you leave comments on a blog post, do you ever concern the benefits beside satisfying your need to say out opinions? Most likely not, and this article may make you change your mind and teach you how to comment the smarter way.
Why comment smartly?
Search engine relies on links to calculate link popularity and hence prioritize pages on the search results. If you have a website or blog you would like to have the search engines to recognize it.
One method of building link popularity is to include your home page address in the comments that you leave on other blogs. However, most of those blogs block search engines from seeing your address.
